    Spree Store API v3 - Customer-facing storefront API for building headless
    commerce experiences.


    ## Authentication


    The Store API uses two authentication methods:


    ### API Key (Required)

    All requests must include a publishable API key in the `x-spree-api-key`
    header.


    ### JWT Bearer Token (For authenticated customers)

    After login, include the JWT token in the `Authorization: Bearer <token>`
    header.


    ### Order Token (For guest checkout)

    When creating an order, a `token` is returned. Include this in the
    `x-spree-token` header

    for guest access to that specific order.


    ## Response Format


    All responses are JSON. List endpoints return paginated responses with
    `data` and `meta` keys.


    ## Error Handling


    Errors return a consistent format:

    ```json

    {
      "error": {
        "code": "record_not_found",
        "message": "Product not found"
      }
    }

    ```
